Verse 1:
   Am/G   G
It's coming on Christmas
    Am/G      G
They're cutting down trees
    Am/G    G
They're putting up reindeer
      Am/G       G
And singing songs of joy and peace
   Em                D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

  Am/G   G
But it don't snow here
  Am/G     G
It stays pretty green
      Am/G     G
I'm gonna make a lot of money
        Am/G      G
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
   Em                D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on


Chorus:
   C             D
Oh, I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 C       G   Em  D
I made my baby cry


Verse 3:
  Am/G     G
He tried hard to help me
       Am/G    G
You know, he put me at ease
    Am/G     G
And he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees
   Em                D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on


Verse 4:
  Am/G     G
I'm so hard to handle
   Am/G      G
I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby
   Am/G  G
That I ever had
    Em                D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 C         G   Em  D
I made my baby say goodbye
